I once heard from a patient:
“It’s quite unusual to want to hear about other people’s problems… Why did you choose this profession?”
My desire to become a clinical psychologist was born out of many reasons—both personal and rooted in my passions and interests. I have always been passionate about the humanities, disciplines that place the human being and their experience at the very center: the way literature, history, and philosophy speak about human fate, emotions, and choices. Exploring the past has always been, for me, a way to better understand the present. In these fields, I found not only knowledge but also a profound attempt to uncover the truth about the human condition—its strength, fragility, relationships, and the ongoing search for meaning.
​
Clinical psychology has become a space where this humanistic curiosity meets empathy and the wish to offer support. The most important aspect has always been the encounter with another person—an openness to differences and a genuine curiosity about their unique story, which shapes who they are today.
The therapeutic meeting between patient and therapist is a time when the person and their story, their subjectivity, become the most important. It is not only a conversation but also a unique space filled with attentiveness, empathy, and safety—where one can tell their story, hear themselves in a new way, and give that story new meaning. This is how I see my work: accompanying another person in discovering what is hidden yet still present, quietly influencing their life. A therapist does not hand out ready-made solutions but instead accompanies—like someone holding a lantern to illuminate a new path.
It is a journey inward, into one’s past, both near and distant, in order to give it meaning and, with the help of various therapeutic techniques, to work on what is happening here and now—on one’s relationship with oneself and with others.
​
I base my practice on the classical tradition of psychoanalysis, grounded in the work of Freud and Lacan who emphasized the role of the unconscious in shaping our thoughts, emotions, actions.
​I perceive the human being in their full complexity: emotional, cognitive, relational, existential, bodily, sexual, and spiritual.
